As a participant in the Massachusetts Laborers' Pension Fund, you can earn a retirement benefit that will provide you with a monthly income when you stop working at retirement age (normal retirement age is 62). This benefit is based on contributions made to the Pension Fund by your employer on your behalf. You are not required (or allowed) to contribute to the Fund.

This site contains important information about the Pension Plan, how it works, forms and resources you'll need, and a checklist of life events that can impact your pension benefit. If you are thinking about retiring, contact the Fund Office to find out how to apply for your Pension benefits.
